Rock and Roll The Wild Side part 4 of 6 (PBS 1995 Documentary)

Part 4 of 6. In 1995, PBS (& Hugh Thompson & Robert Palmer, the critic not the musician) produced a comprehensive series on the history of rock and roll. While there were other documentaries produced at that time with the same name, this one is superior & harder to find. In this, part 7 of the series, the filmmakers examine the impact of Andy Warhol & the Velvet Underground on The Doors, Iggy Pop, David Bowie and Alice Cooper. They describe how glam became more theatrical, leading to bands like Kiss. The scenes with the fans are priceless...!

Sorry again for the video quality. These videos were watched a lot!

Charlie Watts is looking at Mick Jagger like, "what an asshole".

[hanghang71]

why did he get his teeth fixed ,such a shame

[vsmcax1007]

Low...the album when he began to "reject" blues-based (american) music. Is the most influential to me as an American...what a paradox huh?

PS: It's a shame that only David Bowie's name is mentioned as producer of "Transformer". This happens over and over again.  Mick Ronson AND David Bowie co-produced it!

I believe that Suzy Fussy (later Mrs. Mick Ronson) invented David's haircut and red colour.  She was hairstylist for the band.

Check out Bowie's Reptilian eyes

Are you sure this is from 1995, as Mick ronson is in this and he died in 1993, and bowie would look different.
